Some suggestions on the Road Law.

i
Editor of the L,telligencr As there is so
much discussion on the mode of keeping
up the roads, am at loss to give my
views among SO many better informed
than myself, though have had some ex-
perience in that line. Some say that the
present system liz unjust; that the roads
should be worked by taxation. If they
mean taxation Of property only, disa-
gree with them, for can see no injustice
in every able-bodied man and boy, from
16 to 80 years of age. being liable to road
duty. So cannot see any injustice on
that line. The only injustice is the i'm
practicability of equalizing the labor to
the different sections of the roads that
cannot be equally and justly done. An
other great disadvantage in the present
system is getting suitable overseers for
each section of road. But the greatest
loss Of time and labor is want of suitable
tools to work with, when not one-half OF
the hands own tool suitable, and no one
is responsible or under any obligations to
furnish them, besides private property
cannot be used for public purposes.
Well, you say there are about 5000 road
hands in the Cou1sy, and they are liable
to eight days work each, which, at so cents
per day, is $4,000. Why not tax these
road hands sufficient to work the roads,
with the privilege of working it out at so
cents day under contractor, and tax
the property OF the County to pay the
contractors9 Would it not be a great saw.
ing of labor when ten hands, under
contractor, with suitable tools, would per-
form the labor of twenty called out under
the present system9 Let the contractor
be prepared with receipts to give each
hand when his duty was performed, also
those who choose to pay the money, and
make 1t the contractors duty to report all
defaulters to the Auditor. to be entered
on the tax-books and collected as other
taxes, with small per cent added.
/ Icannot see any injustice in some plan
of this sort, as majority of the road
hands pay no tax to support the Govern
ment that gives them protection in life,
liberty and property. think they
should perform the road duty as their
fathers have done before them. But I am
not in favor of 80 much local laws. I
think such laws as the road Law should be
general. There are nearly one;third of
the people of the County living around
on the border who are nearly as much in
terested in the roads in adjoining counties
as they are in Anderson County roads.
Perhaps they do their marketing in an
other County, and most of their travel, 30
I do not think it should be local.
I am not writing this for publication.
I do it just to give you my views on this
subject. If you can read it, think on it
and see if there is anything in thesugges.
tions. have had these views for years.
If you wish to publish any or all of it, in
order to draw out some one else, do as
you think best.

Owing to the rain quite small congre-
CATION assembled at this place on last
Sabbath. Those that were present were
amply paid, as the pastor preached quite
an interesting sermon.
The Sunday School has been in winter
quarters. The people of the community
are requested to be present next second
Sabbath, at 10 o'clock q. M, for the pur-
pose Of recognizing. We hope that the
members Of the Church will be present
and assist in this great cause.
Mr.. A. A. Dean said the other day that
he was further advanced with his farm
than ever before at this season Of the year.
He is one Of our prosperous farmers.
Deanville is improving very fast. DR..
Reid seems to be quite handy behind the
counter handling his goods and waiting
on his customers. BE is doing much
larger business than he anticipated.
Mr.. 8. A. Dean is erecting fine mer-
chant mill, which will be great con-
venience to this community. he is one
of our most enterprising farmers.
We spent few hours with DR.. Duncan
last week, and were received by him with
the utmost courtesy and kindness. He
spared no pains to make our stay pleas
ant. he is preparing for large crop this
year, and is one Of our most energetic
farmers.
Capt. Mcdonald, who has been confined
to his room for several months past, is
now improving.
Two unknown characters passed
through this community last week pro.
tending to sell Medicine. They called st
colored mans house and asked to stay
all night. Being refused. they abused
him considerably; said he was the NEAR

they -ravelling for the benefit of the
colored Sc, and did not mix with the
white people. We could do quite as well
without such tramps.
While in conversation with Capt. Han
ma, said he, we have one good thing III
this community, that is, prohibition.
Said that he did not care so much for ths
old men, but for the young men and
boys of our County. The Capt. will do
all in his power now and in August fol-

A MINING BOOM IMMINENT.

 in the history ot Prescott when the eyes of captal.sts were directed so much TO-
 wards this section for investment as at

 OUT resources. while the representatives Of capitalists who have visited us are
 numbered by the score. As resul, of these visii', a number of important sales. S-f- -,-----' -- --'- nd IITse enterprises started, whie 9 greater numoer stIl are

 An illustration of what can be done in small way, with little or no capital, is furnished in the Del Pasco mill previous to its purchase by Diamond Jo Key holds. w. H. Robbins and partners in the mines were possessed of very limited means, but of boundless faith in their property and undaunted courage and en- terprise, and in forty days run with an imperfect four-stamp mill cleaned up S5975, or within s25 of Saoo per day.
 It IS not every owner of a gold-bearing claim that has even four-stamp mill with which to prospect his property, however, and, as a consequence, there are 2 large number of this class of claims which are Of necessity lylng idle for want "f even small capital to work them.
